I know, excuses, excuses, but I was on vacation and as soon as I got back started a new job.

I will post one vacation pic real quick before leaving for work (yes, working on the weekend, but I was without work for so long, that I have to deal with it.)
Seashells for Sunshine and Moonshine. (Yes properly boiled twice before adding.)

I figured they would appreciate the building material more.
Actually we didn't go anywhere to even get t-shirts. We just went to our time-share an hour away in Sebastian.
As a matter of fact, it was the place where this whole reefing thing began. One year I let the kids bring hermit crabs back from the one of the islands like the one with the shells.
Somehow that morphed into the crazyness of 4 tanks and who knows how much money.

It's a boy!!!
Yes, it is finally confirmed. Sunshine is in fact a male. He was missing last night and I was starting to get a bit worried but tonight he was back in his favorite burrow FLASHING! I thought his head looked a bit pale but I wasn't sure, then he chased after a mysis and I about freaked.
This means I probably have a pair. If it was 2 males they would have likely fought by this time so I have been pretty sure at least one was female.
Maybe someday he will have some eggs but even without dreaming that far in advance, it is super cool to know he is a male and is comfortable enough in his surroundings to show breeding colors.
I'll try for pics tomorrow. Lots of tank excitement here this week so the camera will definitely be in use this weekend.

I've thought about the names for a while Barb but it just didn't seem right to change it now. Hubby is still mad I changed from Sparkles to Sunshine. Plus I like the Sunshine, Moonshine combination and Moonshine is so much darker it just wouldn't be right to swap.
As much as I know these fish have personalities, I don't think they know if their name is too feminine.

Congrats Lynn. I remember when BJ first started flashing. I thought he was dead he was so white.
Frank is a VERY wise man! I have a friend who has a cousin who knows someone who worked with a guy who's uncle ate broccoli 1 time and had the worse case of "Broccolisoliouslious" and barely survived. If there hadn't of been a guy there who happened to be carrying a stomach pump he wouldn't have made it! Talk about LUCK!
Ok, you all know how much I like posting, but I have to clear the air. I actually do like Broccoli. I really do, as long as it remains on Lynn's plate. AND before I forget again, I did earn a brownie point once by tasting some of those little green things that stick to your teeth. Lynn gave me a .... well you know. It just so happened that one of those little green buggers got up and jump out of her mouth and right in to mine. Boy I'll never let that happen again... 
I need a hug:hug1:
